In an architectural sense, 'fenestration' means windows, ie, the application of windows to an elevation.
De-fenestration means slinging people out of windows. :eek:Driver of the Forums

I'll ask a question seeing as Driver hasn't.
What proper word, (no names etc.,) in the English language has a 'Q' in it that is not immediately followed by a 'u'?Bob Willson
The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

QWERTY is the only one of those that I have ever heard of and that isn't really a word.
However, a google search validates your nominees.Bob Willson

And still being half asleep when I posted, it is not an acronym either, just a sequential event of characters as presented by Christopher Latham Sholes or William BUrt. Originally Posted by Bob Willson

From memory Scholes was involved in typewriters.
And William Burt was a surveyor from the states! I was going to be a surveyor till I grew up.

A Warrington hammer is a cross-pein hammer, specifically designed for woodwork. It has a head with a normal hammer shape on one side and a tapering narrow edge on the other side, designed for starting pins, brads, tacks and nails before they are hammered home. Originally Posted by John Saxton

The other type of Warringtom hammer is a blow delivered by a Rugby League player, usually in blinding rain and ankle-deep mud. (North-West Pom joke! )

We-e-ell, there's a bit more to it than that, Al. If that was all it was, it would just be called Cock. Originally Posted by ozwinner
